Cannot agree more, this is a life lesson that should be taught in school. Especially in medium/large companies where you got rewards like promotions, bonuses and so on, then your colleagues are competitors.

over promising and under delivering isn't a sustainable model

Are you aware that it's difficult to get your message from such form and some people might ignore your posts?

I guess that's a risk, opaqueness was not my intention, thank you for the heads up.
